years running elections in a different texas county in that different texas county she had been universally praised by that county s leaders. i mean by all accounts, hood county made a really good choice when they picked somebody to come in and be the sort of technocrat who would administer the elections. and in fact when it came time for the presidential election in november of last year, november 2020, things went off absolutely without a hitch. in hood county. now i should mention that hood county is really, really conservative. it is really republican. to prove my point, these were the results in hood county from the november election. trump won 81% the vote there. he beat joe biden by 64 points. over the entire state of texas, donald trump s margin of victory was six points. in hood county, it was 64 points. absolute landslide. and so, if you were a trump supporter who ferve ently believes what trump says, which is that the 2020 election was stolen from it him, you may b
